Designed for continuous condensate drainage and immediate air venting in low-pressure steam systems, the Hoffman Specialty 404200 (Series FT015H-3) is a heavy-duty Float and Thermostatic (F&T) steam trap built for commercial heating and industrial process loops. Featuring a 3/4" NPT female threaded connection and a 15 PSI maximum operating pressure differential, this trap is engineered for steam main drips, unit heaters, air handling coils, and heat exchange equipment.
The FT015H-3 features an H-pattern piping configuration with dual inlets and outlets on both sides, offering maximum piping flexibility during installation or replacement. Its balanced-pressure thermostatic air vent element swiftly exhausts non-condensable gases during startup to eliminate air binding, while the heavy-duty stainless steel float mechanism modulates continuously to discharge condensate without steam loss.
Key Performance & Engineering Features:
- H-Pattern Piping Flexibility: Side-entry inlet and outlet options allow for simplified, straight-through or right-angle piping connections.
- Continuous Condensate Discharge: Modulating ball float and valve pin automatically adjust to varying condensate loads to protect heat transfer efficiency.
- Thermostatic Air Venting: High-grade thermostatic element removes air at low pressures during cold startups, preventing system noise and thermal delays.
- Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Build: ASTM Class B cast iron body housing durable stainless steel internal levers, float ball, and valve seat for maximum water hammer resistance.
⚠️ Application Profile: Recommended for low-pressure steam main drips, unit heaters, blast coils, steam heat exchangers, and commercial boiler condensate returns requiring up to 15 PSI differential capacity.
